Aw bless him, sounds like he's doing just fine to me

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #102 on:** July 01, 2010, 12:01:27 PM »

He's doing really well, eating biscuits and everything, he's just Ollie without the teeth

He does look a bit odd tho as you could see his fangs when his mouth was closed, they used to pop out (the reason for me wanting to keep them I think

) and now he just looks gummy

They also look very little in the mouth but they are massive really, the fangs are about 3cm long

He's got a check up tomorrow but I know he's ok really, within 20 mins of coming home he was out the back rolling round with his catnip fishy, he knows where he wants to be and I wouldn't have it any other way

How come they didn't take his teeth out CC, what have they done instead?

I think CC meant that she's keeping the teeth

Will be keeping him in my thoughts today CC

Thank you

He's doing very well, the infection seems to have gone (first time since xmas) and he's looking lovely.

Feel a bit awful now to be putting him through it as he's doing so well at the moment, but it's only a matter of time before he's ill again if I dont

Yes he is, amazingly

cant wait for next week, really hoping it helps him out a lot, not expecting a cure just not to have to visit the vets every 4 weeks

He's been going to the vets every 4 weeks since being 6 months old, the longest being 5 weeks, the poor little begger

He's booked in for next Wed

Another thing.....I am going to ask if I can keep his teeth- is that a bit creepy?

thing is I got this little trinket box (I got it for the xmas auction) it's got a little black cat on it, and when it arrived I couldn't bear to part with it as the cat looks so much like Ollie. Never really had any use for it but to put his teeth in it would be purrfect

Janeyk · « **Reply #73 on:** June 25, 2010, 10:51:33 AM »

oooh fingers crossed for him xx

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #72 on:** June 25, 2010, 09:29:03 AM »

Ollie's going to the vets today to get booked in for his op next week. He's been doing really well since the last time, no infection anymore

Iv seen mouths like that picture get better so it does happen, i hope ollie is one of them

I have posted about this several times but Clapton went through 4 dentals in about 2 years. The last time, the vet planned on taking 2 out, leaving him with 2 teeth. I told the vet that I wanted them all out as 2 teeth are probably a hindrance more than anything. The vet said healthy teeth are more difficult to extract and can cause jaw damage. I said that if I was back in 6 months with a poorly cat, I wouldn't be happy. He said he would see what he could do. He ended up taking them all out. I'm sure Clapton had a sore mouth for a few days, although he did have Metacam but that was the last tooth pain he ever had to endure. I think it was the best thing we ever did for him. I a still convinced years of infection is what caused Clapton's CRF

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #68 on:** June 20, 2010, 11:59:09 AM »

I dont understand with conditions like this why they woudlnt want to remove all the teeth in one go, cats cope really well with no teeth, and it is much better for them than going through 2+ dentals and anaesthetics (I had that with Ginger, he ended up with 3 dentals cos they would only take out a few, and they wnated to leave 2 in on his last dental, so I kicked off, he was 13 by that point and overweight, I didn't want him going back in another years time).

My gut feeling is it will

Oh that sounds good, Im getting excited now as I know Schui and Clapton have lived to a healthy age, Ollie will be 6 next month and I really couldn't bear to loose him at such a young age

Mark, Ollie's was found out by a biopsy that was done when he had his other teeth out, if it wasn't Im sure it would still be unknown till this day

It's starting to look promising, I hope it works

It's plasmacytic stomatitis Ollie has, is this what Clapton and Schui had?

Yes exactly, Schui's was where the immune system attacks itself, before we adopted him he was found with his mouth like raw liver - was how CP described, and he couldn't eat or groom his fur was covered in matts. They had some teeth removed but when we adopted him his mouth was still constantly bad and we tried everything including me scraping the tartar off every day

, in fact the vet said she was surprised he wasn't FIV. Anyway asw a last resort the vet removed all his teeth and his mouth gradually improved and he was so much better after, the vet was really pleased because as you say it doesn't always help totally. He was also on steroids though for nasal problems so whether that helped too I don't know. If I'd have known the improvement I'd have had his teeth removed sooner.

Mark · « **Reply #64 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:13:25 AM »

They didn't give Clapton's problem a name but it really sounds like the same thing.
